I installed JBoss 4 and 5 using JDK 1.5 and 1.6, and having an unzipped jboss distribution in an apache served DAV-enabled directory.

But the startup fails to deploy any service that is not an xml file.
I presume my webdav configuration could be broken, or netboot support is broken, or another thing I struggle to find.

Can anyone help, what the problem might be?
